THE  VALUE 

OF  A 

MODERN  STORE  FRONT 


cannot  be  overestimated  and  no  one  realizes  this  more  fully  than  the  successful  merchant.  He 
recognizes  facts  and  consequently  knows  that  the  buying  public’s  first  impression,  which  is 
gained  through  observance  of  his  Show  Windows,  determines  the  extent  of  his  opportunities 
to  present  the  merchandise  he  has  to  offer.  He  knows,  moreover,  that  if  the  Show  Windows 
are  shabby  and  old-fashioned,  regardless  of  the  quality  of  wares  displayed,  the  majority  of 
customers,  prompted  by  a natural  regard  for  progressiveness,  will  seek  elsewhere  for  their  re- 
quirements. He  maintains  an  efficient  sales  organization  to  dispose  of  merchandise  of  undisputed 
quality  and  safeguards  his  investment  by  providing  the  means  through  which  customers  are 
inclined  to  enter  his  establishment. 

Another  feature  not  to  be  overlooked  is  the  advertising  value  of  a Modern  Store  Front.  Modern 
Show  Windows  not  only  serve  their  purpose  in  creating  a favorable  impression,  but  also  act  as 
a perpetual  advertisement  at  the  lowest  known  cost  therefor — simply  the  initial  price  of  the 
material  and  installation.  Furthermore,  the  merchant  who  advertises  in  the  newspapers  of  his 
vicinity  cannot  afford  to  dampen  the  enthusiasm  his  advertisements  might  develop  by  introduc- 
ing prospective  customers  to  antiquated  Display  Windows;  therefore,  a Modern  Store  Front 
investment,  highly  remunerative  even  as  an  attraction,  also  serves  to  enhance  the  results  obtained 
from  other  forms  of  advertising. 

THE  DESIGN  OF  A STORE  FRONT,  while  dependent  upon  its  size  and  location,  is  particularly 
determined  by  the  nature  of  the  articles  to  be  displayed.  Unless,  therefore,  the  general  arrange- 
ment fulfills  the  particular  requirements,  the  Store  Front  fails  to  function  efficiently  and  becomes, 
to  a certain  extent,  a liability.  Therefore,  too  much  stress  cannot  be  laid  upon  the  advisability 
of  expert  assistance  in  the  general  design. 

FREE  STORE  FRONT  PLANS  will  be  gladly  furnished  upon  receipt  of  the  necessary  infor- 
mation, which  consists  principally  of  a complete  description  of  the  kind  and  style  of  Front  wanted, 
the  purpose  for  which  it  is  intended  and  all  measurements  possible.  A rough  pencil  sketch, 
indicating  the  general  arrangement  desired,  is  invaluable  to  an  intelligent  interpretation  of  the 
requirements  and  should,  by  all  means,  accompany  the  information  referred  to  above.  We 
maintain  for  this  purpose  a service  department  composed  of  expert  Store  Front  designers,  de- 
tailers  and  estimators,  whose  special  training  and  long  experience  in  this  line  enable  us  to  not 
only  render  efficient  and  economical  service,  but  also  to  provide  for  our  customers  the  last  word 
in  Modern  Show  Window  Display. 

FULL  SIZE  DETAIL  I)R  A WINGS  for  a Modern  Store  Front  Installation  are  absolutely 
indispensable  from  the  standpoint  of  practical  construction  and  consequently  the  absence  thereof 
explains  why  so  many  store  fronts,  regardless  of  the  quality  of  materials  employed,  are  failures 
in  some  of  their  most  essential  respects.  Accurate  Full  Size  Detail  Drawings,  significant  for  their 
assurance  of  a perfect  fit  and  ease  and  economy  of  erection,  are  prepared  for  every  Store  Front 
we  furnish  and  a copy  is  mailed  to  the  customer.  Briefly,  these  Details  are  of  inestimable  value 
in  the  manufacture  of  a Modern  Store  Front  and  to  the  contractor  in  the  erection  thereof.  More- 
over, since  the  total  cost  of  a Store  Front  completely  installed  offers  the  only  fair  comparison 
of  prices,  these  Details  function  supremely  in  bringing  down  the  cost  to  the  lowest  possible  level. 

INTERNATIONAL  CONSTRUCTION,  a development  of  many  years  of  experience,  embodies 
in  detail  all  that  is  practicable,  durable  and  efficient  in  Modem  Store  Front  Designing.  It  is 
practicable  because  the  methods  employed  are  feasible  in  every  possible  respect;  it  is  durable 
because  the  various  members  are  not  only  of  lasting  quality  but  are  also  sufficiently  rigid  to 
withstand  all  degrees  of  vibration  and  wind  pressure;  it  is  efficient  because  it  is  effectual  in  bring- 
ing about  all  desired  results. 

Numerous  other  points  of  merit  would  be  of  considerable  interest,  but  space  permits  to  add 
only  that,  by  reason  of  the  above  mentioned  qualities  alone.  International  Construction  is  a potent 
factor  in  the  matter  of  economy  and  that  simplicity,  the  keynote  of  architectural  perfection, 
serves  as  a feature  thereof.

MODERN  STORE  FRONTS 


Design  No.  2201 

An  illustration  of  a very 
impressive  store  front. 
Maximum  show  window 
space  combined  with  an 
inviting  entrance  are  the 
outstanding  features  of 
this  design.  Note  the 
attractive  art  glass  sign 
in  the  transom.  A wide 
awake  merchant  realizes 
that  the  installation  of 
this  front  would  be  a profit- 
able investment.  A con- 
tractor knows  it  would  be 
a permanent,  shouting  ad- 
vertisement for  him. 


Design  No.  2202 

This  design  shows  an  ar- 
cade type  of  store  front. 
This  is  a very  desirable 
arrangement  for  a wide 
store.  It  offers  wonderful 
display  possibilities.  The 
customers  will  receive  sug- 
gestions as  they  pass  be- 
tween the  show-windows 
when  entering  and  leaving 
the  store.  We  can  furnish 
this  type  of  front  in  many 
different  arrangements.  Let 
our  store  front  designers 
work  out  the  proper  pro- 
portions for  your  parti- 
cular job.

A very  suitable  design  of 
show  window  for  display- 
ing large  articles.  A large, 
roomy  entrance  is  obtained 
by  the  use  of  the  glass 
sidelights  on  either  side  of 
the  door.  This  design 
shows  sheet  prism  glass  in 
the  transom  but  this  can 
be  changed  to  Luxfer  prism 
glass,  double  strength  glass 
or  polished  plate.  Like- 
wise, a tile,  wood  panel  or 
sheet  copper  base  can  be 
substituted  for  the  marble 
base  shown.  All  designs 
in  this  book  are  suggestions 
only  and  can  be  changed  to 
suit  individual  require- 
ments. 


Design  No.  2204 

A beautiful  and  attractive  design  for  a medium  sized  store 
requiring  roomy  display  windows.  The  metal  awning 
cover  shown  between  the  plate  glass  and  transom  glass 
is  very  valuable  for  protecting  a canvas  awning. 


Design  No.  2205 

A modern  and  very  suitable  design  for  displaying  shoes, 
drugs,  cigars  and  other  small  articles  that  do  not  require 
large  show  windows.  This  arrangement  offers  maximum 
show  window  space  for  a narrow  store.

Design  No.  2206 

This  excellent  design  offers  an  ideal  arrangement  for  a 
two  story  building.  By  referring  to  the  plan  of  this 
front  it  will  be  noted  that  the  stair  entrance  is  located 
behind  the  front  show  window.  No  valuable  sidewalk 
frontage  is  lost  by  this  arrangement.  This  plan  is  es- 
pecially desirable  where  the  second  floor  is  used  for  living 
apartments. 


Design  No.  2208 

Here  we  show  one  of  our  most  popular  designs,  popular 
because  there  are  hundreds  of  instances  where  this  design 
is  the  most  practical.  The  panelwork  in  the  rear  of 
show  windows  may  be  omitted  if  desired. 


This  is  a very  practical  and  inexpensive  store  front.  You 
would  be  agreeably  surprised  at  the  reasonable  cost  of  this 
style  of  front.  A merchant  can  not  make  a better  invest- 
ment than  purchasing  a modern  store  front.

Design  No.  2209 


\Y  e recommend  this  attractive  design  for  a medium  width 
front  when  large  show  windows  are  desired.  The  merchant 
of  today  knows  it  pays  to  have  an  attractive  show  window 
as  it  means  more  sales  and  a greater  profit.  Send  us 
dimensions  and  sketch  and  we  will  prepare  scaled  drawing 
suggesting  proper  proportions. 


Design  No.  2211 


A practical  bank  front  design,  neat,  substantial  and  durable. 
This  front  can  be  furnished  in  our  complete  copper  or 
bronze  glass  setting  construction.  We  can  furnish  bronze 
covered  doors  if  desired.  Let  us  prepare  a drawing  of 
your  requirements  according  to  your  dimensions.  We 
also  furnish  artistic  metal  ceilings  for  interiors  of  store 
or  bank  buildings. 


Design  No.  2210 


Here  we  show  an  excellent  design  for  a motion  picture 
theatre.  The  upper  front  is  constructed  of  heavy  gal- 
vanized steel.  \Ye  furnish  everything  complete,  including 
upper  front,  doors,  marble,  sign  cases  and  ticket  booth; 
also  interior  beams  or  steel  trusses  for  supporting  ceiling 
without  the  use  of  columns  or  posts.  Special  designs 
prepared  promptly. 


Design  No.  2212 

This  is  an  excellent  design  of  store  front  for  a corner 
store.  W’e  can  furnish  marble,  copper  or  wood  base, 
4x4  Luxfer  prism  glass  or  sheet  prism  glass  set  in  copper 
or  wood  construction.  Interior  mill  work  can  be  made 
of  any  kind  of  wood  desired.  W’e  will  prepare  special 
drawings  of  other  corner  store  front  designs  if  the  above 
does  not  suit  the  requirements.

Design  No.  2213 

The  above  design  is  an  excellent  suggestion  for  a neat, 
modern  and  medium  priced  front.  The  spacious  recess 
has  an  inviting  appearance.  All  designs  shown  can  be 
arranged  to  suit  your  ideas  and  requirements.  Send 
measurements  and  rough  sketch  of  the  arrangement  de- 
sired. Remember  that  we  furnish  store  fronts  COM-

Design  No.  2214 

Wherever  the  cost  of  brick  or  concrete  construction  is 
too  expensive  we  suggest  the  use  of  frame  construction 
covered  with  galvanized  steel.  The  above  is  a neat  and 
attractive  galvanized  front.  This  construction  is  much 
more  fireproof  than  ordinary  frame  construction.  Send 
us  measurements  and  we  will  prepare  drawings  free  of 
charge. 


MARQUISES  AND  CANOPIES 


Marquise  Design  No.  2 


Canopy  Design  No.  3 


A marquise  or  a canopy,  as  shown  above,  would  greatly  improve  the  appearance  of  any  building.  Our  facilities  ror  manufacturing 
metal  marquises  and  canopies  cannot  be  excelled.  Wehavealarge  force  of  competent  designers  and  detailers  who  are  specialists  in  this 
class  of  work.  The  sturdy  steel  frame  is  manufactured  in  our  own  steel  shops;  the  copper  or  galvanized  mouldings,  cornices  and  sky- 
light roof  construction  are  produced  by  competent  skilled  mechanics  in  our  sheet  metal  shops;  the  glass  is  furnished  from  our  large 
stocks.  Consequently  all  parts  are  manufactured  under  one  supervision  which  results  in  a substantial  and  beautiful  job.  All  parts 
are  shipped  in  the  largest  possible  shipping  sections,  carefully  crated  and  are  easily  put  together  with  the  aid  of  our  drawings.

MODERN  PUBLIC  GARAGES 


With  the  increasing  mileage  of  good  roads  and 
the  number  of  new  automobiles  sold  each  year, 
the  future  of  the  wide  awake  garage  owner  appears 
very  bright.  He  realizes  that  the  public  is  always 
inclined  to  patronize  the  most  modern  and  up-to- 
date  garage. 


Garages  are  required  to  house  inflammable  and 
explosive  materials  and  for  this  reason  fireproof 
materials  should  be  used  as  much  as  possible.  We 
will  gladly  render  free  engineering,  drafting  and 
estimating  service  on  modern  garages  upon  receipt 
of  the  necessary  information. 


We  have  unequalled  manufacturing  facilities  for  the  production  of  complete 
public  garages;  our  service,  deliveries  and  prices  cannot  be  excelled. 


DESIGN  No.  2251 


Here  is  shown  a very  attractive  and  modern  garage.  The  archi 
tectural  lines  of  this  building  are  very  beautiful.  Steel  windows 
can  be  used  in  place  of  the  wood  windows  shown.  By  referring 
to  the  sectional  view  below,  it  will  be  noted  that  the  second 
floor  is  suspended  from  the  steel  roof  trusses  thus  omitting  the 


undesirable  columns  in  the  first  story.  The  show  windows 
offer  wonderful  display  possibilities.  Let  us  prepare  a drawing 
of  your  individual  requirements  and  show  you  how  this  type  of 
building  will  appear  on  your  lot.  We  also  make  drawings  for 
remodeling  old  buildings  into  modern  garages. 


ANY  possible  ar- 
rangement of  steel 
supporting  construction 
which  may  be  desired 
will  be  gladly  worked 
out  in  a practicable 
manner  by  our  engineer- 
ing department,  free  of 
charge. 

We  specialize  in  sub- 
stantial designing  upon 
an  economical  basis, 
thereby  eliminating  any 
concern  regarding  the 
safety  of  the  structure 
and  also  keeping  the 
cost  down  to  the  lowest 
possible  level.

IN  case  the  hangers 
in  second  floor  are 
not  wanted,  we  can 
easily  design  and  furnish 
at  a reasonable  cost 
steel  girders  of  sufficient 
capacity  to  support  the 
second  floor  without  any 
columns  or  hangers.

course,  would  eliminate

r\R5T  ‘ rLOOI^*  PLAN  ‘ 


DESIGN  No.  2251 

The  above  floor  plans  show  a splendid  layout  for  a modern  garage.  The  office  in  the  center  of  the  sales  room  is  very  desirable.  Another 
feature  of  this  plan  is  the  way  the  accessory  department  is  separated  from  the  balance  of  the  sales  room  by  means  of  the  glass  floor 
cases  and  the  glass  partition.  This  prevents  the  public  from  handling  and  carrying  off  small  parts  and  accessories.  The  entire  sales 
room  can  be  safely  managed  by  one  person  when  this  arrangement  is  used.  Note  the  abundance  of  car  display  space  and  the  I arge  show 
windows.  The  high  powered  elevator  will  lift  the  cars  to  the  second  floor  where  they  can  be  repaired  or  stored.  These  are  only  a few 
of  the  practical  ideas  of  our  garage  architects  and  engineers.

SECTIONAL  VIEW 


We  offer  this  splendid  plan  for  those  who  wish  a modern  living  apartment  on 
the  second  floor.  The  entrance  to  the  apartment  is  absolutely  private  and  the 
door  between  sales  room  and  hall  is  very  convenient.  Half  the  show  window 
space  can  be  used  for  accessories  and  the  other  side  for  displaying  new  cars.  There 
is  ample  space  in  the  office  for  tire  display  racks,  etc.  The  monitor  skylight  above 

the  garage  storage  space  is  a 
splendid  method  of  lighting  and 
ventilating  this  space.  Note  the 
steel  trusses  support  the  roof 
without  any  intermediate  columns. 
If  you  fail  to  allow  us  to  figure 
on  your  requirements  we  both  lose. 
Send  us  the  necessary  information 
for  free  drawings.

•Floors  -Plan- 


The  above  plan  is  ideal  for  a modern  and 
practicable  garage.  The  location  of  this 
office  is  in  the  center  of  activity.  Note 
that  the  stock  room  and  accessory  depart- 
ment can  be  locked  and  thereby  keep  the 
public  from  handling  and  possibly  carrying 
off  small  merchandise.  The  gasoline  filling 
station  under  the  corner  of  the  building 
is  convenient  for  customer  and  operator- 


SECTIONAL  VIEW

receive  serious  consideration  when  planning  a modern  garage.  The  sug- 
gestion shown  here  produces  a very  desirable  arrangement.  We  are 
designing  garages  daily  for  prospective  customers.  Let  us  help  you.  \ou

sold  if  desired.  They  are  constructed  according  to  our  standard  portable 
sectional  buildings  which  can  be  used  for  many  different  purposes  and

ARCHITECTURAL  IRON 


Steel  lumber  sections  are  lighter  than  wood,  very  much 
stronger  and  possess  the  added  advantage  of  being  non- 
burning.  This  material  is  being  extensively  used  in  every 
type  of  fireproof  building  for  floors,  roofs  and  partitions 
including  schools,  hotels,  hospitals,  theaters,  stores, 
office  buildings,  garages,  apartment  houses,  etc.  No 
wood  frames  are  required  for  this  construction,  this  feature 
alone  making  it  a very  economical  proposition.  We 
furnish  steel  lumber  cut  to  exact  requirements  so  that 
no  cutting  is  necessary  on  the  job.  International  Service 
covers  engineering,  designing,  drafting,  fabricating 
and  prompt  deliveries.
